> The fact that you are off of it for months at a time is what is probably saving you. It is preventing the tolerance effect. This usually occurs in people you use it every day or so. Are you using it recreationally? Because I couldn't see otherwise how you could tolerate it using it only every few months. Seems pointless. -Jason911

I said I HAD been off it for months at a time. I take 20mg daily and have for over a year. When I met my pdoc I had enough meds to start my own pharmacy. However, with the help of my husband and pdoc, that isn't the case anymore and hasn't been for the past 6 years.

Yes, taking Adderall (or any other med) recreationally would seem pointless but is done every day....

Again, I take Adderall everyday, however there have been times when I've ran out and couldn't afford to pick up the scrip, and went without it; at times a few days, a week, or even a month....and do tolerate it without withdrawal.

Tell me it isn't so. I believe that no one with depression should even consider Adderall in their regimen. They WILL develop tolerance and they WILL feel like (you know what).
